THE WAR ON THE BORDER

SPECIAL POST

We look on the tube and we see war everywhere... Israel, Ukraine, Iraq, Syria, Africa... But, we don't grasp what is happening on our own southern border with Mexico.  I'm not addressing the mass of illegals crossing the border; I'm talking about open warfare.  

Members of Mexican drug cartel routinely are firing automatic rifles across the border at our Border Patrol Agents.  FOX NEWS reports that just last week a game warden was hit in the head with a rock while trying to seize a raft; police officers were wounded in an hours-long standoff with a gang member wanted for murder; and criminals spewed obscenities and death threats at local cops before asking for, and receiving, medical treatment.  

We know that the drug cartels are seizing upon the absence of Border Patrol Agents who are busy tending to the influx of illegal children to run their drugs across the border.  Anyone with any knowledge of the border situation will agree that the border is virtually wide open.  

Why is it that everytime someone like Jan Brewer or Rick Perry makes a move to stop this problem they get branded as being racist against Mexicans and as being anti-immigrants?  Doesn't anyone grasp the magnitude of this problem? 

It doesn't take Congress to pass legislation.  It shouldn't take border governors to intervene.  All it takes is for the Absentee President in the White House to order the Justice Department to enforce the law, while sending a few thousand troops to seal the border off.  All Obama has to do is sign an order and make a telephone call.  

Why won't Americans stand up and make him do his damned job?  

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
